Amazon Just Took A Big Swipe At Hulu And Netflix

Amazon quietly switched its Prime service today, letting
subscribers choose between paying $7.99 per month or $79 per
year. Before, you only had the $79 per year option.

We first saw this new change via Hacking
Netflix, but were then able to independently confirm
this change by visiting Amazon.

Amazon Prime gives you free two-day shipping on many items in
Amazon's store and gives you access to thousands of streaming
movies and TV shows through its Instant Video product. Amazon
Instant Video is available on several devices like Xbox, iPad, and Roku.

The new $7.99 per month price plan is the same price Netflix and Hulu charge for their streaming services. But
unlike Netflix and Hulu, Amazon Prime gives you quick access to
shopping without having to worry about tax or shipping costs. On
the other hand, Hulu and Netflix offer a lot more streaming
content than Amazon.
